With Limewire Version 4.9.33 my comp crashes at LW start up
 

Hi this is my first time posting to this forum. I've been using Limewire for several years now - never had a problem with it, and it always seems the safest client (for me anyway) to use. But lately, this new version and the previous one have given me horrible problems - if anyone could help I would be extremely grateful.

Ok what happens is (and only with these new versions) is the moment I click Limewire to open, the system freezes for about 5 secs and crashes. And a very quick blue screen comes up (for 2 secs) and then the whole comp restarts and when my desktop loads, the error msg is "the system has recovered from a serious error". This has never happened to me, and all the other programmes I have do not cause this, only Limewire. I've run Stinger, Norton Anti-Virus, Microsoft Anti-Spyware and Ad Aware, and it didn't affect the problem at all.

Another thing - it won't crash every single time. Say out of every 3 times I use it, it'll crash twice. And I also uninstalled it and re-installed it. The same problem happened.

Can anyone help at all? I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Blue Screen of Death (BSD) is generally hardware related or out of date drivers. Make sure all your drivers are up to date, such as for graphic card, cpu/microprocessor, etc. Sometimes it's bad RAM. This is not a LW problem, it's just that LW is acting as the catalyst for BSD to happen. It 'could' well happen with another progam.

Thanks for replying. I'm using a laptop, so I went to the manufacturer's website and there doesn't seem to be any new drivers available. Erm is there anything that could be the matter?:confused:

Hmm they should probably have drivers somewhere on the net.

Here's some BSD links (a bit of browsing thru): 1. Link 1, 2. Link 2, 3. Link 3, 4. Link 4
And see if there's anything that might be relatable to your Laptop.

If the Lords suggestions do not work you might want to try the link below you will have to register at the site and download some diagnostic software but they may be able to help with your problem.
